  • Abstract
  • The climate crisis has prompted global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly in the transportation sector. Aviation faces unique challenges, leading to initiatives like CORSIA to promote sustainable aviation fuels (bioSAF) and carbon offsets. Combining biochar production from sugarcane residues with bioSAF production presents a promising strategy for carbon removal and mitigation. Brazil's sugarcane expertise positions it as a key player in the Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ) market. Preliminary results suggest that for every MJ of ATJ produced, when using bagasse to produce biochar for carbon dioxide removal (CDR), the greenhouse gases offsetting is 66.1 gCO2eq. Future research should focus on refining this approach.
